Directions:

!Make the Doughnuts
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray Doughnut Twist Pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Beat butter and sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about three minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add vanilla.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add half the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until nearly combined. Add buttermilk and remaining dry ingredients, mixing until incorporated. Do not overmix!
Fill doughnut cavities 2/3 full. Bake 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (The original instructions said 18-20 minutes, but mine were a little over done at 15.) Cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

!Make the Avocado Cream
Add cold heavy cream and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar to a large bowl. Whip until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, mix avocado, lime juice, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and vanilla with a hand mixer until most lumps are gone. Fold into whipped cream.
I filled my doughnuts using a pastry bag and Wilton tip #230. Pipe filling into both ends of the doughnut. (In mine, the center didn’t get filled, so I suggest poking the tip in to the center of one side to fill the center.)

!Make the Glaze
Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl. Frost tops of doughnuts and top with sprinkles, as desired. Glaze will dry in 10-15 minutes. Store in refrigerator. Avocado filling will remain green for at least 3 days if kept in a sealed container.?

I just got that pan too, but I haven’t had time to play yet!!! I am seriously in love with these donuts…but you knew I would!!! Chocolate and avocado is an awesome combo!!! And rainbow sprinkles are my fav too:-)

I *still* have yet to try this whole avocado dessert craze which probably will end our friendship soon for you if I don’t get on board, haha. Of course jimmies make the world a better place–sprinkles are awesome! Try saying sprinkles as angrily as you can. You just can’t. It’s SPRINKLES, DAMMIT. Sprinkles rock, and so do these twisty awesome donuts.

I love the donuts, but the avocado?? Make mine a plain Jane version please. Simple chocolate glaze and sprinkles will do fine, thank you. So sorry, but I just don’t think you’ll convince me that veggies are supposed to be dessert.

I have that pan! Now, you need Tip#230–which is what pastry chefs use to fill centers of eclairs, etc. The combination sounds wonderful and I know what you mean about mortgaging the house to buy avocados when summer is over. Here in the PNW, they’re as much as $1.50 a piece, which is outrageous. When I lived in California, my BFF’s dad had two big trees and the bounty was endless–can you imagine the recipes we came up with. You need to go to the Avocado Festival in Carpinteria, CA; all I’m saying is Yum!!

uhhh….I’m sorry I just can’t hang with you there. Green ooze coming out the end of my donut would scare me. But “Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it”, right? And I haven’t, so I guess I’d just have to close my eyes to get over the color, ha.

I admit I’m incredibly curious to try something like this! I’ve never given much thought to Avocados as anything other than a savory food–delicious as they are, I usually put them in chicken sandwiches and guacamole. I will have to find a way to obtain one of these doughnut (donut? I don’t know either!) pans and give them a shot!

I’ll be right over! I would really, really, really like to try that pan…Just imagine the possibilities! Great combo of flavors and I may just have to give this avocado cream or frosting a try. Maybe with some tequila or triple sec?

You are so creative! The green looks just beautiful next to the chocolate brown…I’m not sure what it would taste like, but Ellen just won me over with her zucchini and chocolate combo, so I know that chocolate CAN be delicious paired with something green Congrats on the SacConnect shout out on Facebook!

That Wilton doughnut pan looks awesome and so not doughnut-ish, lol. I’m intrigued with the avocado flavour combo. But I can’t comment because, [don’t faint] I’ve never tried it. [are you still upright?] I wish Wilton would send me stuff!

They do look amazing and I will have to try them. I’m up for anything sweet. And the sprinkles make them more happier than they were already!

The doughnut looks amazing. It really does and I want one right now. But the avocado filling kinda weirds me out. Is it really tasty? Because it looks like it’d taste like spinach. I’ll take your word for it, as you’ve not steered me wrong yet

Summer’s around the corner! Did you know, you can make this Avocado whipped cream concoction, into an ice cream? Just freeze it! (deja vu!) I posted this comment on here before… please re-post this recipe as an ice cream version (no machine Required.)
